It would be D because there is more gravitational forces acting on it than a small block of wood

If the objects are all at the same distance from the center
of the Earth, then the gravitational forces between the Earth
and each object only depend on the mass of each object. 
Those forces are least for the 5kg object, and greatest for
the 2,540kg object. 

The gravitational force that attracts each object toward the
center of the Earth is typically referred to as the object's "weight".

It's important to know that there's another force of gravity ... the one
that attracts the Earth toward the object.  And that one is equal to
the object's weight, but pulls in the opposite direction.

Your weight on the Earth is equal to the Earth's weight on you.

8. two +1 C charges are separated by 3000m. What is the magnitude of the electric force between them?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

1000 N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged object is given by

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb constant

q1, q2 is the magnitude of the two charges

r is the distance between the two objects

Moreover, the force is:

- Attractive if the two forces have opposite sign

- Repulsive if the two forces have same sign

In this problem:

q_1=q_2=+1C are the two charges

r = 3000 m is their separation

Therefore, the electric force between the charges is:

F=(9\cdot 10^9)\frac{(1)(1)}{3000^2}=1000 N
